Fig. 3From: Colitis-associated carcinogenesis: crosstalk between tumors, immune cells and gut microbiotaImmune cells regulate the progression of colon cancer by affecting the secretion of cytokines and chemokines. Under inflammatory conditions, immune cells including T cells, dendritic cells, MDSCs, macrophages and neutrophils can secrete cytokines and chemokines to change the tumor microenvironment, thus causing DNA damage and activating tumor-related genesBack to article page
